also Tex. GOV’T CODE ANN. §§ 51.207, 51.851(b), 101.041; Order Regarding Fees
Charged in the Supreme Court, in Civil Cases in the Courts of Appeals, and Before
the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation, Misc. Docket No. 15-9158. On

Further, appellant has not paid or made arrangements to pay the fee for the
preparation of the clerk’s record. See TEX. R. APP. P. 37.3(b). On March 16, 2021,
appellant was notified that this appeal was subject to dismissal if appellant did not

Appellant did not adequately respond.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for nonpayment of all required fees and

dismiss any pending motions as moot.
